Whether you want to have a committee meeting or chat with your family when your abroad, video conferencing software can get you connected.

Unlike regular Instant Messaging software, video conferencing software let you talk face to face with your colleagues, family or friends, using only your PC, webcam and microphone. Most laptops have built-in webcam and microphone so you don’t need anything else except a smiling face to show off.

Most video conferencing programs have tons of features. You call someone on their computer and talk to them just like on the phone, you can send files using drag-n-drop features or share photos. A good video conferencing software comes with an address book functionality to keep your contacts organized and to help you remember their ids or phone numbers. On top of that you can call phone numbers from any carrier and speak from your PC (this requires you pay certain rates per minute or per call).

Your internet connection is an important factor as some video conferencing software offer live video, other record segments and send you the bits after a certain amount has loaded.

You can pay for a video conferencing software or you can download a free one, this depends on what you need it for. You need to know what your needs and preferences are in order to get the right program.
